Suncured earthen adobe bricks not the software used for home and large building construction. Mainly a forum for owner-builders worldwide to exchange ideas, techniques, inspiration and support.

This group was founded on the idea that plain, simple adobe as used over the millenia works well in the modern world and needs no improvement, just encouragement.
